Venison Bourguignon

Intro

I’ve never actually cooked game meats before so I did a little research. Apparently a good acidic balance is required to both soften the meat and counter some of the gamey character. Just so happens that the recipe I wanted to use; a French style, was designed with that in mind.

Step 4

Chop the garlic and get ready to fire up the bacon.
On the right side of the stove, we get the soup base started. The bacon fat will provide the oil needed to start these vegetables cooking. Vegetable oil should be on standby in case you don't get enough fat from the bacon. Turns out that our bacon was too lean so we needed it.

Step 10

Add the zucchini and some flour to provide some thickening. Crank up the heat a bit to facilitate cooking the flour. Meanwhile, transfer the cooked bacon pieces from the bacon slices pan into the pan with the vegetables and bacon.
